About Melrose

Transportation

    

     Melrose is very desirable for commuters, located just seven miles north of Boston. It borders major highways Route 1 and Route 93, and is in close proximity to Routes 95 and 128. There are also three stops on the MBTA Commuter Rail in Melrose and an Orange Line stop at Oak Grove Station. A trip from Melrose to Boston takes a mere twenty minutes on the T. MBTA buses run frequently in Melrose.
     Melrose's easy access to Boston also means easy access to Logan International Airport.  Melrose is also under an hour away from Manchester-Boston Regional Airport.
